Affordable Housing in Major Cities: Models That Actually Work
The shortage of affordable housing in major European cities is driving a new wave of innovation in development, financing, and management models. This session will explore emerging solutions that combine public-private partnerships, specialized investment funds, and tech-enabled platforms, with a focus on affordable rentals, Build-to-Rent schemes, and new forms of collective living.
Operational Management and Its Technological Challenges in New Living Concepts
Operational management has become a key value driver across various real estate asset classes, playing an increasingly central role in the Living sector. Models such as Build-to-Rent, coliving, senior living, and student housing require complex, tech-enabled operational structures that have a direct impact on asset profitability. This session explores how technology, data management, and the professionalization of operators are reshaping asset management — not only in Living, but also in sectors like flexible offices, healthcare, logistics, and hospitality.

Build-to-Rent, Funds, and Cities: New Alliances for Housing Access
Major European cities face a deepening housing crisis that demands structural solutions through urban planning, regulation, and public-private collaboration. This session examines innovative models being tested in places like Barcelona — such as land concessions, industrialized housing tenders, and municipal co-investment — and explores how to scale them, attract capital, and ensure long-term affordability. It also addresses how public and private interests can align, and the role of regulatory stability in enabling lasting impact.
PropCo / OpCo: Smart Management for Next-Generation Assets
Operational management has become a key value driver across real estate segments — from flexible offices and hotels to logistics, healthcare, and residential assets. As performance increasingly depends on the quality of operations, this session brings together operators, owners, and asset managers to explore how technology, data, and new service models are reshaping asset management and accelerating the shift toward PropCo/OpCo structures. What lessons are emerging, and how can profitability, control, and user experience be balanced in these evolving models?
